How can set corectly the desired layout for an custom item that extends CustomItem class.
I tried it both to set layout calling setLayout() method from the form that contains my item OR in my item class, to return the desired layout in the overrided method getLayout(). No one really works. In fact, I want to have an custom item that expand verticaly or that have a break line after.
Any help, I appreciate!
All I want is 2 buttons without beeing separated at all.
Look:
class ButtonItem extends CustomItem {
int displayWidth;
public ButtonItem(String title, int width) {
this(title);
displayWidth = width;
}
protected int getMinContentHeight(){
return 10;
}
protected int getMinContentWidth(){
displayWidth;
}
protected int getPrefContentHeight(int width){
return 10;
}
protected int getPrefContentWidth(int height){
return displayWidth;
}
public void paint() {
// draw some stuff
}
public int getLayout() {
return Item.LAYOUT_2 | Item.LAYOUT_VEXPAND;
}
}

to see how implement CustomItem...
it seems that the layout should be defined in your CustomItem constructor...
and to answer to your question...
you should read the Form javadoc because it is in the Form layout that you define the
place of your CustomItems...
hope this help
